Maptek Evolution - Strategic Mine Planning Software

Maximise the value of your mining operations. Create practical mine schedules that minimise costs and bring forward value.

One software for daily, medium, long‑term and strategic mine scheduling.

Evolution optimises net present value using grade cut‑off techniques, a proven method for maximising project value. By using a single dataset to schedule across planning horizons, Evolution ensures consistency of tonnes and grade throughout the mine life.

Choose the optimum mining scenario for your operation

Evolution uses resource model data to calculate every aspect of mine planning and scheduling: NPV, haulage, waste dump formation, mineral processing, mining equipment and capex.

It generates and compares thousands of planning scenarios, which allows you to choose the best option for your criteria.

 
 

Maximise the life of mine while meeting product specifications

Economic conditions may change, but you still need to deliver consistent product specs to your customers. Evolution creates practical, real-world schedules, optimised to meet multiple objectives, either independently or simultaneously, in any combination.

Which means that you can maximise your life of mine, while meeting customer product specifications, during each period.

Simple usability = better productivity

Evolution may be powerful, yet it provides a simple environment for scheduling and mine planning. There are no steep learning curves to limit productivity.

Clear reporting and auditing

The fine granularity of Evolution means you'll know where each block of ore has been mined from and where it will go: processing plant, stockpile or waste dump. Which ensures valuable ore is not left in the ground.

Schedules are fully auditable, there are no black boxes.
